I try to be positive about F1 but gently caress me that race sucked. I fell asleep somewhere around lap 40 due to boredom, woke up just before Checo crossed the finish line, hadn't missed poo poo. Surprised I didn't fall asleep earlier to be honest.
Bad track, bad broadcast direction, Alonso the only shining light in a grim season.

All the middle east tracks are snoozefests. Baku City Circuit has the tight corner, but after the 1st lap nothing happens.

The budget cap should be variable and change so the teams that lose all the time can spend more money to catchup.

Today's parade laps were not very exciting IMO.

No, it's still just gonna be parade laps, but starting behind the safety car so it's somehow even worse.

Every poster in this thread has, at the time of this message, also the same amount of points as Sargeant

This maybe true. But unlike Sargeant my average points per race returns infinite points. :smug:

Lap 18/62, from third place, Russell calls to his team:

"Let me know what our best shot at winning this race is, what I need to do"

This radio call is dumb as hell because it not only highlights that he has no idea what he's doing out there, he also lacks some critical awareness of where he is. The race isn't going to be won at lap 20. "Forecasting" his win that early just leads to sobbing at the end of every race he fucks up by blowing his load too early.

I think this is a pretty nonsense take on it. Teams have strategies and plans for where they think they will likely finish the race at the start of the race. They are most certainly calculating everything at lap 18 with what their best target finish is and how to get there. Russell was pretty much just asking the team strategists what his pace needed to be for the tires to give him the a chance to be in position to win the race. Ferrari spent the first half of the race trying to get Leclerc to leave a 3 second gap to Sainz so they'd have the best chance at winning the race themselves.

Russell crashing and crying though is pretty funny.

So Perez would have had to serve a grid penalty in the next race had he not re-entered the race today.
We went motor racing.

Correct. Logan Sergeant wasn't worry about it though cause you can't get a grid penalty if you start 20th anyway.

Has there not been a race in the past where a driver was sent back out after retirement to go for the fastest lap

Or was that just a dream during a nap

I could see a team trying it just to take a fastest lap from another team.

Although I assume it would be hard to compete for the fastest lap if the car still is loaded up with fuel for laps you didn't run cause you were in the garage. For the reason, I'd assume it'd be pretty unlikely.

The only thing funnier with this whole Perez scenario would have been that Perez joins back being lapped what was it, 36 times?
There was a Safety Car and the unlapping procedure puts Perez back on the main race lap, and he over takes somebody to not classify last finisher.

Guess it would be comical if they had Perez drive around 30+ laps under the safety car so he could unlap himself.

Wonder if Sonoma is a better option. You'd pretty much have to ruin the Glen to get it to grade 1, I'd rather not.

Sonoma doesn't have any long straightaways. No DRS. Red Bull would throw a big stink at this.

How did they spend a year repaving the roads and making F1 grade without checking their manholes too? Those mistakes get real lovely real quick. Wait which manhole are we talking about now?

Looked at the final season stats and Max has double the points of second place, and more than second and third combined. Don’t think that happened in Merc Dominance. Didn’t check the Vettelreich

Max led 1003 of the 1391 GP laps this season, along with 0 DNFs. Complete dominance that probably won't be matched anytime soon, unless he does it again next year I guess.
